I haven't been a fan of everything (or even most things) New Mivango has said on the matter, but these comments aren't much better.
This "group vs group" talk is a bigot dogwhistle, no matter who it's coming from or aimed at. Men aren't allowed to have fears or insecurities because some men are scumbags? Are you completely incapable of viewing people as individuals? Yet you dare to make accusations about "gender politics fueled by resentment"? You're just being a hypocrite at this point.
I'd be happy to elaborate on my thoughts to dispell any notion that I'm trying to justify bigotry.
